Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez has new cancerous tumor

Hugo Chavez (pictured) revealed Sunday that a new tumor recently removed from his pelvic region was of the same type of cancer as a baseball-sized growth extracted from that part of his body about eight months ago.

In his first TV appearance in nine days, Chavez said the surgery and follow-up tests showed the tumor was "a recurrence of the initially diagnosed cancer."

The 57-year-old Chavez said he would spend several weeks recovering and then "we are going to do radiation treatment in the area ... without discarding other treatment options."
